    I haven't seen tripples in 20 - 25 years out here that I recall. I'm just wondering... is anyone (company) pulling tripples now-a-days?

    I'll add that, I only run the deep south... La, TX, Ms & Ar. Seriously, I see doubles all the time but I cant remember when the last time I have seen anyone pulling triples. Maybe its not feasible in the rural south.

    That would explain why you don’t see them. Triples don’t exist down here in the south. Triples are only pulled in a handful of states west of I-25. I’ve also seen them on the Kansas Turnpike, Ohio Turnpike, and the Indiana Toll Road.

    Rand tells me that triples are not permitted in those states. There are only 12 states that allow triples, and most of them require special permitting.

    That makes as much sense as going to Thailand and saying you don't see any Filipino hookers.
